Gorham did not specify how many specimens of L . fuscata that he saw, only that it was a “large number” (1884). In order to ensure the specimens we designated were examined by Gorham, we chose to designate only the fifteen specimens with a syntype label, a correct locality label, and a Biologia Centrali Americana (III) (BCA) label. One of these fifteen specimens also bore a red “Type” label and is here designated as the lectotype . The remaining fourteen specimens are designated as paralectotypes . Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “ ♂ ” “SYN-/TYPE” “Type” “ Lucidota /fuscata/Gorham.” “ B.C.A.Col. III.(2)./ Lucidota /fuscata, ♂ / Gorham ” “ Bugaba ,/ Panama ./ Champion ”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Lucidota fuscata Gorham / Designated by/ Martin and Saxton 2020”.
